Too brutal for you
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

A former Chinese soldier turned artist explains how a song on Radio Australia changed his life
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-04/ ... /100664158
It was 1979 and Jian Guo was stationed at a military camp in Yunnan, a province in south-western China bordering Vietnam.
The then-17-year-old was patrolling the base one night when he saw a group of fellow People's Liberation Army soldiers tuning radio equipment on the back of a truck.
He initially thought they were intercepting enemy signals, but, as he got closer, he realised they were listening to a radio broadcast.
It was the ABC's international broadcasting service, which was considered an "enemy channel" at the time.
He was not supposed to use the equipment he maintained, and was fearful of breaking the rules, but after seeing his comrades listening to the Australian broadcast the curiosity grew inside him.
One night, alone in his room, he turned on a radio.
It took a while for him to find the right frequency, because of the interference put out by China, but then suddenly he was listening to Radio Australia and the song that would change his life.
"It was broadcasting The Moon Represents My Heart by Teresa Teng," Guo said.
"That was the first time I knew such music existed in the world.
It changed my life forever."
Some Taiwanese music is very very super Cool School, i reckon, especially some of their 50's and 60's americana
This at least gives you a touch of that silky smooth feel
